About Second World War

The Second World War (1939-1945) was one of the deadliest conflicts in human history, involving nearly every nation across the globe. It was primarily fought between the Allied Powers, including the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom, and the Axis Powers, led by Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Fascist Italy. The war saw major battles across Europe, Africa, and the Pacific, including the Battle of Stalingrad, the D-Day invasion, and the Pacific Island-hopping campaign. The Holocaust, the use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the eventual fall of the Axis Powers marked some of the most defining moments of the war. The conflict reshaped global politics, leading to the Cold War and the establishment of the United Nations, aiming to prevent future global wars.
